Extract results from breakpoint unit root test

[jthodge]

Is there a command to extract the unit root test results from the Eviews 9 breakpoint unit root test into a table object? Freezing the buroot view creates a spool object, but I can't figure out how to output just the unit root test results portion of this spool object. I can right-click on that portion in the buroot view and extract the results to a table object, but I can't figure out the corresponding command.

Ultimately, what I'm trying to do is cycle through a number of series and collect the the break dates from the buroot tests. Maybe there's a simpler way to do this than trying to extract the number from a table object?

Use the nograph option to stop the results being put into a spool.

More generally, you can use spool.extract to extract a table/graph from a spool object.

Alternatively, you can use the output= option to save all the results and calculate the break date:

Code: Select all

series.buroot(output=buoutput) !idate = buoutput(@imin(buoutput.@col(7)),1) string date = @otod(!idate+1)
